A great first chapter and I look forward to the future chapters. As far soulmates I shall leave that up to where ever you take the story. I think that Jacob being a Black it would be interesting if those Blacks were distantly related to Harry and Draco and Neville (since they all share Black blood in their original families).
Another wonderful chapter to end a fantastic tale. It will be interesting to see if Dryads live on other worlds or to see further ocean exploration of our Big Blue Marble.
